New OASIS web pages are live again

[Kelvin Lawrence <klawrenc@us.ibm.com>]

The new OASIS content management system
went live again today and seems to be behaving much better now. Please
visit our WSS TC page  [1] and let me know of any problems you encounter.
I have tried to set things up in a way that will look somewhat like our
old TC page and I have tried to provide a set of convenient links. Some
of this has involved quite a bit of experimentation on my part and I think
I am pushing the tool into some new areas !! Here are problems I already
know about and have reported to the OASIS staff.

1. The e-mail archives for March 2003
for our TC are missing

2. The links to draft 11 versions (clean
and marked-up) of the "core" specs seem to be broken, the links
to all other docs seem to be working. I have provided a page of links to
our old documents to help you still find them (there is a link off our
new home page to that list)

3. Our spec documents did not get bulk
imported into the document repository as I was hoping they would. I am
in the process of uploading at least our most recent drafts manually this
weekend.

This has been a lot of work but I think
we are finally (mostly) there. Steve has also been working hard to make
sure all of our TC members are correctly listed and have the correct voting
status etc. I appreciate your patience and understanding if you run into
problems with the new system. Please report them to me and I will work
with the OASIS staff to get them resolved if I cannot fix them myself.

I have given all of our editors write
access to the document repository so that will allow them to upload documents
directly in to the system without having to use me as a webmaster.

I will give you all a further update
and answer any questions on using the new system on Tuesday during our
call.
